Vibes like a mic plugged straight into an API console from 1976, with hints of sparkle and sheen to the saturation. Model A vibes like a mic plugged straight into an API console from 1976. Adding a hint of sparkle and sheen, it slowly breaks up into a gritty white cloud of antique saturation. Pairs perfectly with the Omega Mic Pre.
Nails the dark, thick, and rounded sound of the coveted vintage Neve pre it’s modeled after. Model N nails the sound of the coveted vintage Neve pre it’s modeled after. Dark, thick, and round, just a kiss imparts a dusty patina, pushed hard it gets downright fuzzy and soft. Pairs perfectly with the Omega Mic Pre.
A lovely saturation and distortion generator pulled straight from the heart of Kush’s own Tweaker hardware compressor. Model TWK is a vintage distortion pulled straight from the heart of Kush’s own Tweaker hardware compressor. The sound of Omega TWK comes from modeling the way Tweaker overdrives a pair of “supermatched transistors” feeding a long chain of dirty 70’s op-amps, all of which have specs that, by modern standards, would be considered abysmal. The effect of lightly grinding each of Tweakers gentle clipping stages in series is a smooth, thick, and slightly dark saturation. Because of that, Model TWK (like the Tweaker itself) goes from ‘mellow & sweet’ to ‘angry & abrasive’ and all points in between.

Henry Hirsch is credited with being the impetus behind the vintage gear movement in the recording industry that continues today. He began his career in Berlin in the late 70’s as a studio musician playing the piano. After a few years he returned to New York City where he opened his first recording studio in his apartment, later moving to Hoboken, New Jersey and opening his Waterfront Studios where he recorded every band in the area and honed his engineering skills. In 1985 he met fellow musician Lenny Kravitz and they became music partners for the next 25 years. After Lenny’s album “Are You Gonna Go My Way” had huge success, Henry built Lenny’s Roxie Studio in Miami Florida.
Verberate is an algorithmic reverb plug-in that simulates real acoustical surroundings with a new degree of realism. Several conventional building blocks in traditional digital reverb design have been replaced by novel methods that allow Verberate to produce convincing early reflections and the dense reverberation tails that characterize impulse response measurements of real acoustical spaces. The result is a clean, unobtrusive sonic quality and a reverb that blends seamlessly into a mix. This is the reverb for those who like clean and realistic reverbs like convolution reverbs, but are in need of more flexibility and tweaking possibilities without sacrificing realism. An additional bonus is the reduced CPU usage compared to convolution reverbs.
